📋 About This Mod
This mod fixes a bug in The Witcher 3 that causes Blade from the Bits and Winter’s Blade to be duplicated at the start of New Game Plus. The issue was due to the game’s script mistakenly reusing the same variable in both an outer and an inner loop, preventing the proper removal of these specific duplicates and interfering with runestone installation. With this fix, these swords will now transfer correctly into NG+ without unintended copies.
Updated version 1. 0. 1 uses annotations to avoid conflicts. Thanks to ElementaryLewis
